flush the system thoroughly with water.

•When spraying oil-basedmaterials, flush the system thoroughly with mineral spirits or compatible, oil-based flushing solvent.

•To spray water-basedmaterials after spraying oil-basedmaterials, flush the system thoroughly with water first. The water flowing out of prime tube should be clear and solvent-free before you begin spraying the water-based material.
